~~~June Mommas PAL Check-in~~~

kimmyberly26

Hey ladies! Sorry I've been MIA the past two weeks. The check-in has been pretty slow as we all adjust to our life change but hopefully things will pick up eventually. I'm hoping that maybe by starting this on Friday, we might see more people at the check-in.  We miss our ladies.  Have a great weekend!

How old is LO? 6 months

LOs name? Griffin Allister

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically, I'm UP 16lbs from delivery...ugh.  I need to get back to the gym and start doing yoga again - achy all over. I stopped BF'ing, so I've been sad about that and emotional since I feel like I've been working non-stop practically.  I miss my LO.

Challenges/Successes? Challenges: Not getting to spend as much time as I'd like with LO and with the holidays, when I do get to be home with him the grandmas monopolize him.  I want to steal him and hide in a corner, but that is frowned upon.  Successes: Watching LO learn and do new things every day!

Cute/Funny stories? He is the happiest little guy to wake up in the mornings! When I walk into his nursery to get him up in the mornings, he gets the biggest smile when he sees me.  It's the sweetest thing ever!  He wakes up from naps with a smile too, I absolutely swoon over him.

QOTW - How was your Thanksgiving with your newest addition? I worked 6 out of 7 nights over the holiday...it was hella awful.  Also of note, my MIL was in town and was a piece of work the entire time.  Too much to handle.  DS's first holiday sucked ass to say the least...for me, anyways.  DH was fantastic with baby G the whole time, though

How old is LO? 6 months next week

LOs name? Sawyer

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? I've worn myself down and now I'm sick.  DH and I are in counseling. SOooooo... I'm hanging in there? 

Challenges/Successes? We found out that LO is sensitive to fragrance.  Washed her clothes in detergent that wasn't free & clear and learned real fast as she broke out.  Rewashed everything but she's having a hard time getting rid of this rash.  Took her to the dr and we're putting some cream on her, but she keeps breaking out despite everything I'm doing.  I think it's because of her daycare provider's detergent she uses.  

I also have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to introducing solids.  I've tried a few different things but I'm nervous to give her more because of her breaking out... even though the doctor said I shouldn't worry.  <---- paranoid FTM here  

Cute/Funny stories?  LO is seriously the happiest and funniest baby ever.  I LOVE her little personality.  

QOTW - How was your Thanksgiving with your newest addition?  It was alright.  We didn't really do anything on Thanksgiving other than get our house ready for company.  My dad and older brother came to visit over the weekend but it just wasn't the same without my mom who had to stay home because she was sick. 

ETA: @Maladroit- HUGS!!! Quitting bf'ing is tough!
